Today, the matter is listed under the caption 'for being mentioned' at the instance of the learned Addl. Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondent.

2. When the matter is taken up for hearing, the learned Addl.Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondent submitted that this court while disposing of the Crl.O.P.No.19611of 2022 on 26.09.2022, issued a direction to the respondent police to expedite the further investigation and file additional report before the trial court as expeditiously as possible, but inadvertently while typing the order, in paragraph 6, it was typed as '..... to expedite the further investigation and file additional report before the trial court as expeditiously as possible, 'preferably, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.' He further submitted that the terms '....preferably, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order' was not at all dictated in the open court. Thus he prayed to delete the words '..... preferably within a period of four weeks 1/4

from the date of receipt of a copy of this order' in the order passed by this court in Crl.O.P.No.19611 of 2022 on 26.09.2022.

3. Per contra, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that while passing order, the petitioner prayed to fix a time for completing investigation, therefore, this court directed to complete the investigation preferably within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

4. I have considered the submissions of the learned counsel appearing for the parties. I have verified with the dictation note book of the concerned Personal Assistant who took dictation notes on 26.09.2022 in the Court.

5. On verifying the notes taken by her, it is found that the words 'preferably within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order' was not dictated to Personal Assistant and the concerned Personal Assistant also confirmed that the above mentioned words were not 2/4

dictated in Court.

6. Under the circumstances, this court directs the Registry to delete the terms '....preferably within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.' from para 6 of the order dated 26.09.2022 passed by this court in Crl.O.P.No.19611 of 2022.
